Transcript

00:00:00.080 President Trump is trying to, you know, broker peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
00:00:04.380 We hear the story, he pulls aside Macron and says, nope, I'm going to go talk to Zelensky myself.
00:00:09.220 They sit down, boom, you got the mineral deal that gets done.
00:00:13.040 And then all of a sudden, hey, Putin, is he going to come to the meeting?
00:00:16.380 Is he not going to come to the meeting? He doesn't show up to the meeting.
00:00:18.580 And then suddenly, this event takes place, calling it the Pearl Harbor of Russia.
00:00:25.380 40 Russian strategic bombers, Tu-95, destroyed in daring Ukrainian FPV drone swarm raid.
00:00:33.800 Take a look at this video, Rob.
00:00:35.120 Do we have audio for the audience to react to the audio as well?
00:00:37.200 Yep.
00:00:37.880 Look at this and listen to the audio, folks. Go ahead.
00:00:41.780 Look at that. Look at those bombers.
00:00:49.020 You see that? It's like straight out of the movie, Pearl Harbor.
00:00:51.340 It's like a video of me.
00:01:15.320 It's a good sound.
00:01:16.500 It's a good sound.
00:01:16.520 It's a good sound.
00:01:17.080 It's a good sound.
00:01:21.340 This thing is going on.
00:01:30.620 You can pause it, right?
00:01:31.380 It goes for a while, by the way.
00:01:32.580 40.
00:01:33.000 So let me read this story to you.
00:01:34.640 Ukrainian Secret Service SBU executed Operation Spiderweb targeting Olenya and Belaya airfields
00:01:41.820 with first-person view drones launched from trucks with SBU sources claiming 34% of strategic cruise missile carriers
00:01:50.760 at the main airfields of the Russian Federation were hit, causing $7 billion in damage.
00:01:56.720 Ukrainian President Zelensky described it as an absolute brilliant result, noting one year, six months, and nine days
00:02:04.360 from the start of the planning to effective execution, and an operation achieved solely by Ukraine.
00:02:10.900 The strikes hit over 40 Russian aircrafts, including TU-95, TU-22M3, an AMA-50 bomber with pro-Kremlin war analyst,
00:02:20.560 Vladislav Podzavky, stating disabling strategic aircraft gives Russia the right to use ready nuclear weapons.
00:02:28.160 Let me say this one more time.
00:02:30.120 Disabling strategic aircraft gives Russia the right to now use nuclear weapons.
00:02:34.200 Citing Russia's nuclear doctrine, allowing a response to attacks on critical government or military infrastructure,
00:02:41.300 Russian War Channel labeled it Russia's Pearl Harbor, with pundit Roman Alekin demanding the response
00:02:47.900 will be the same as the U.S. response to the attack on Pearl Harbor or even harsher.
00:02:53.060 Those are some strong words right there.
00:02:54.680 Tom, your thoughts on this?
00:02:55.720 Well, this is really bad.
00:02:58.160 This is horrifying.
00:02:59.480 In the midst of Trump trying to broker and trying to negotiate, there are forces out there that want nothing but war.
00:03:07.640 And remember, Ukraine has been enabled by this.
00:03:10.760 People are given Ukraine weapons systems that they apparently use themselves.
00:03:15.240 When he says achieved solely by Ukraine, what he's saying is we did it.
00:03:18.860 Yeah, but you did it with arms and stuff you were given by other people.
00:03:21.640 And so this is a big bump in the road toward peace because you can't – if you had Putin ready to sit down and talk about something,
00:03:31.100 okay, tell you what, you keep Crimea.
00:03:32.920 We make a line right here.
00:03:34.500 We do a couple things.
00:03:35.400 We negotiate this.
00:03:36.600 Can we get to a peace and a detente here?
00:03:39.260 And now Putin's like, what are you talking about?
00:03:42.780 Which one of you folks sold these weapons?
00:03:45.080 Which one of you folks distracted me?
00:03:47.800 Because remember, Putin, if anything, has got a high level of paranoia.
00:03:51.140 And so he's going to look at this and have a – the one quote that I believe in this story,
00:03:58.260 the response will be the same as U.S. Trump, Pearl Harbor, or even harsher.
00:04:01.100 Why leave Pearl Harbor at that?
00:04:02.460 It's going to be a very harsh, strong response.
00:04:06.220 And I think we just took two steps back on a peace treaty, which is really a border definition treaty
00:04:13.000 because Russia wants Crimea.
00:04:15.100 Russia wants to keep Dornbus.
00:04:16.980 And Ukraine would like to get back on its feet, the core people.
00:04:21.540 But Zelensky or whoever's supporting him, they want war.
00:04:25.800 This is nasty.
00:04:27.900 Adam, thoughts?
00:04:29.160 So it's the number one story on Wall Street Journal right now.
00:04:33.440 Apparently they're both in Istanbul right now where these Russia and Ukraine peace talks are taking place, allegedly.
00:04:42.660 But if you actually look at what's going on in real life,
00:04:45.100 on one hand they're like, yeah, yeah, Trump, we're going to sit down, we're going to have peace talks,
00:04:49.480 we're going to work this out.
00:04:51.220 On the other hand, they're bombing the crap out of one another.
00:04:56.140 As much as I support Trump and I voted for Trump, he promised to end this war in one day,
00:05:02.080 actually before he assumed office.
00:05:04.000 I think there's both sides saying, dude, I don't think you even understand a fraction
00:05:07.720 of what this war is all about because this is not stopping anytime soon.
00:05:12.260 And by the way, there's another article right now talking about how Putin has geared up
00:05:17.020 the entire Russian economy to focus solely on war.
00:05:21.380 So the whole conversation about, what is that?
00:05:29.420 That's chat GBT.
00:05:31.240 On whose phone?
00:05:32.300 Sorry about that.
00:05:33.640 Wow.
00:05:34.260 They're listening.
00:05:34.960 They just tapped my phone.
00:05:35.820 By the way, they talked about how Putin's entire economy has hinged upon basically only
00:05:40.780 focused on war.
00:05:41.440 The running joke about Russia for many years is that it was a gas station masquerading as
00:05:47.420 a country.
00:05:48.200 Now it is a full on gas station, oil field and war machine that is only focusing on Putin's
00:05:53.840 war.
00:05:54.360 And my assumption is it's only going to get worse since this whole Operation Spiderweb just
00:05:59.120 happened when they basically eliminated, what, 40 of their planes.
00:06:02.280 So how many deaths have been in this war since 2022?
00:06:06.920 Hundreds of thousands.
00:06:07.500 Hundreds of thousands.
00:06:08.300 At least a million.
00:06:09.940 Where are the campus protests?
00:06:11.940 Where are the people talking about the deaths of the civilians?
00:06:15.400 Nothing.
00:06:15.880 Zero.
00:06:16.580 Why don't we hear about this anymore?
00:06:18.460 This is the number one war in the world.
00:06:19.880 Now they're threatening what, PBD?
00:06:21.980 Nuclear war?
00:06:24.180 No.
00:06:25.080 Let's not talk about it.
00:06:26.100 This is, by the way, Adam, Trump said a lot of things, but when you have people like Lindsey
00:06:31.540 Graham, who's been there since the 30th, who is a freaking war hawk, that's been pushing
00:06:36.420 for us to go to war with Ukraine.
00:06:38.960 That's all this guy is.
00:06:39.720 And I love how people are always like, well, you guys are only on one side.
00:06:42.300 No, no.
00:06:42.780 Lindsey Graham is one of those people that we talk about.
00:06:45.000 What do you mean pushing us to go to war with Ukraine?
00:06:46.240 Not with Ukraine.
00:06:47.200 To drag us into a war with Russia.
00:06:49.300 That's the, at the end of the day, it's not Trump.
00:06:52.540 It's the people behind the...
00:06:53.660 So you think this is Lindsey Graham?
00:06:54.460 Lindsey Graham has been there talking to him this whole week.
00:06:56.900 Lindsey Graham has absolutely zero poll.
00:06:59.080 You don't think Lindsey Graham has no one poll?
00:07:01.380 You don't think Lindsey Graham is in there in his ear?
00:07:02.680 Lindsey Graham is a senator.
00:07:04.400 He doesn't run anything.
00:07:05.600 It's a coalition.
00:07:06.040 He doesn't run anything.
00:07:07.480 He's there talking about peace talks.
00:07:09.960 Then all of a sudden, have you...
00:07:11.620 Is this the Bannon clip?
00:07:13.680 Are you bringing up Lindsey Graham?
00:07:14.540 I haven't seen the Bannon clip, but I know that he's there.
00:07:16.540 And he is a war hawk.
00:07:18.160 He wants us to go to war...
00:07:18.580 What's this about, Rob?
00:07:19.120 He's been saying this for years.
00:07:20.200 Steve Bannon was on Chris Cuomo's News Nation, where he talks about Lindsey Graham being arrested
00:07:24.360 for continuing to stir up animosity with Zelensky in Ukraine.
00:07:28.660 Go ahead.
00:07:29.420 I don't know whether it's true that Ukraine didn't give us a heads up
00:07:34.080 and that the United States wasn't involved in the planning or execution.
00:07:38.360 I don't know that.
00:07:39.240 I know what the White House has said.
00:07:40.800 I don't necessarily believe it.
00:07:42.520 I don't know that it's not true either.
00:07:44.900 But I don't understand how you could want to jail a U.S. senator
00:07:48.540 because he's saying something you don't like.
00:07:50.280 That sounds like the worst of the deep state.
00:07:53.080 Well, look, the president...
00:07:53.720 Sounds like what happens in Russian lawfare.
00:07:56.040 No, no, no.
00:07:58.180 It's absolutely...
00:07:58.860 What he's doing...
00:07:59.740 What he's doing over there right now is stirring it up.
00:08:02.960 He's giving the Ukrainians false hope.
00:08:06.260 He's giving the Ukrainians false hope.
00:08:08.740 He's giving Ukrainians false hope that we're there to support them
00:08:12.620 on engaging Russia in a kinetic conflict.
00:08:15.760 And we are not...
00:08:16.220 So maybe he's wrong.
00:08:16.900 What do you say, throw him in jail?
00:08:18.300 President Trump...
00:08:19.800 Hey, hey, Lindsey Graham, two things ought to happen.
00:08:24.280 Either cancel his passport and don't lay him back in the country
00:08:26.920 or put him in jail if he comes back.
00:08:29.120 Lindsey Graham is stirring it up right now.
00:08:30.220 What the hell is this guy talking about?
00:08:31.640 People better wake up to the fact...
00:08:33.600 Jailing a senator?
00:08:34.720 What are you talking about?
00:08:35.980 Brandon, your thoughts.
00:08:37.300 Yeah, so we have mechanisms in place to take care of things like this.
00:08:40.180 And if Trump's not going to take those mechanisms out
00:08:42.420 because of the bad sides of them,
00:08:43.800 why isn't he using the good sides of them?
00:08:45.580 Like, the National Endowment for Democracy put things like this into place.
00:08:48.780 So, you know, I think it's time with Zelensky not being compliant
00:08:51.500 with what we want him to do,
00:08:52.580 with him going behind our back as he's pretending to do peace talks
00:08:55.220 and playing this for a year and a half.
00:08:56.700 You know, it's time to overthrow him.
00:08:57.940 It's time to use something like the National Endowment for Democracy
00:09:00.100 to take him out of power
00:09:00.960 because the vast majority of his country wants him out of power.
00:09:03.760 They're calling him a dictator.
00:09:05.120 He's doing things that are putting us in danger,
00:09:06.720 that are putting us in danger of a nuclear war
00:09:08.380 and putting the rest of Europe in a war posture position.
00:09:11.840 Do you think Trump knew that Zelensky was going to do this?
00:09:14.620 Probably not because he's...
00:09:16.620 You don't think he knew?
00:09:17.580 You don't think that intel knew?
00:09:18.980 Tom, do you think Trump knew?
00:09:20.160 Do you think the White House knew this was going to happen?
00:09:21.880 I think we've got really good intel,
00:09:23.660 and I think we wake up in the middle of the night, we freak out.
00:09:26.940 Middle of the night type of knowing.
00:09:28.380 Not that we've known for a week.
00:09:29.780 No, I don't know if we've known for a week.
00:09:31.440 It's like, hey, we suspected this, we suspected this.
00:09:33.900 They just pulled the trigger on this, Mr. President.
00:09:35.840 They just pulled the trigger on this.
00:09:37.340 Can I ask you a question?
00:09:38.180 Yes.
00:09:38.420 So what you just said sounds a little bit like,
00:09:41.260 and I'd like you to unpack it.
00:09:42.300 I'm not attacking you.
00:09:42.980 I'd like you to unpack it.
00:09:43.960 For sure.
00:09:44.320 Sounds just like, we need to knock out Saddam Hussein.
00:09:47.920 He's not there.
00:09:48.680 We need to overthrow him.
00:09:49.900 But then there were things that filled the vacuum.
00:09:52.340 If Zelensky, let's say tomorrow,
00:09:53.820 Zelensky, hell, had an overdose, had a John Belushi death.
00:09:58.520 Yeah.
00:09:58.820 Okay.
00:09:59.560 What fills the vacuum?
00:10:01.220 Because you're saying we need to take him out.
00:10:02.780 What fills the vacuum?
00:10:03.880 What are the political forces that are there?
00:10:05.460 Or is it like an Ayatollah, a completely radical member?
00:10:09.280 Or is it a military conversion?
00:10:11.500 What happens in Ukraine if somebody does take Zelensky out?
00:10:14.200 You're well-read on this.
00:10:15.200 So, for example, the guy that we had on this podcast,
00:10:17.980 he had to leave the country.
00:10:19.240 He used to be Zelensky's advisor.
00:10:21.160 Barastovich.
00:10:21.840 Yes.
00:10:22.080 The vast majority of the country wants him in power.
00:10:24.280 So somebody like that.
00:10:25.080 It's a much more structured place than Iraq.
00:10:27.800 It's not like a chaotic situation if you take him out.
00:10:30.500 They want peace and stability and strong leadership.
00:10:34.100 And popular sentiments on that side of things,
00:10:36.540 where they don't want to be antagonizing Russia.
00:10:39.040 You could probably get them on board with giving a portion of Ukraine to Russia.
00:10:42.400 Because, I mean, Ukraine's barely even a real state.
00:10:45.200 It's only existed for 30 years.
00:10:46.680 Like, 90% of Russia's existence was part of Russia.
00:10:49.720 Then we help overthrow Russia, or Russia collapses.
00:10:52.940 And then we just take that part of it,
00:10:54.420 use U.S. lobbyists to create this state called Ukraine.
00:10:56.960 There's a lot of countries that exist for the last 30 years.
00:10:59.920 It's called the ending of the Cold War.
00:11:01.180 So when the Eastern Bloc fell, you know,
00:11:04.020 all these countries that, believe me, want to be free,
00:11:07.440 every single stand, every single country down there,
00:11:09.880 used to be part of the USSR.
00:11:11.400 Here's a question for you.
00:11:12.900 For him to make, he says 18 months,
00:11:15.300 and execution was perfection, right?
00:11:17.120 His work.
00:11:17.940 Yeah.
00:11:18.020 So for this to happen, and for it to take place,
00:11:22.860 he has to have such confidence and such backing
00:11:26.380 to know Putin's not going to do anything.
00:11:28.820 Who gives him that level of backing?
00:11:30.440 NATO?
00:11:31.200 Well, you think that's the backing?
00:11:33.320 He ain't getting it from Trump.
00:11:34.840 So where is he getting the backing from to act this boldly
00:11:38.360 to cause a Russian Pearl Harbor?
00:11:40.740 And what did the Russian guy say?
00:11:42.080 Hey, how did you guys react, America?
00:11:43.580 So don't give a shit if we react like the way you guys did,
00:11:46.720 if we react to so.
00:11:48.040 And then what's our argument?
00:11:49.620 Well, you know, learn from our mistakes
00:11:51.900 and don't make the mistakes of our previous leaders
00:11:54.800 and all this.
00:11:55.340 And Russia's going to say, shut up.
00:11:57.340 Give me a, cry me a river with all this bullshit
00:12:00.320 that you guys have all done all this damage
00:12:01.720 and I can't do anything?
00:12:02.880 So to me, for a Zelensky to act this boldly,
00:12:07.720 someone gave him the permission and the backing.
00:12:10.820 Who is that?
00:12:11.480 Well, think about it, rogue elements of the CIA
00:12:13.340 or the intelligence agency, like, that's the thing.
00:12:15.340 It's, look at the CIA director.
00:12:16.980 He, like, first day in office, they come in,
00:12:18.960 they put signal on his device as well,
00:12:20.320 him even wanting them to do it.
00:12:21.820 So the director of the CIA has no idea
00:12:23.540 what's really going on in the CIA
00:12:24.800 and the president has no idea
00:12:25.840 what's really going on in the CIA.
00:12:27.100 So rogue elements have been doing things
00:12:28.720 that nobody has any idea about for decades.
00:12:31.080 And I think, and it's always been the case
00:12:32.480 that powerful forces are very interested
00:12:34.380 in getting control of Russia's resources.
00:12:36.660 Like, that's why everybody hates Putin
00:12:38.020 is because, you know, we put oligarchs in place
00:12:40.960 at the end of the Cold War.
00:12:41.840 We're exercising control through them
00:12:43.760 and Putin gets into power
00:12:44.780 and he takes control over the oligarchs,
00:12:46.480 gets them out of power.
00:12:47.340 So we lose access to Russia's market.
00:12:49.060 So, you know, even in the first Russia revolution,
00:12:51.080 we wanted access to Russia's market.
00:12:52.680 So that's why these powerful forces
00:12:54.440 are so interested in, you know,
00:12:56.400 I guess wearing Russia down.
00:12:58.140 Who gives Zelensky this level of confidence
00:13:01.700 to act as boldly as he did?
00:13:03.880 Rogue elements of CIA.
00:13:04.900 Rogue elements of CIA.
00:13:07.200 Yeah.
00:13:08.060 What kind of power do the rogue elements
00:13:10.020 of the CIA have
00:13:11.080 that Trump's not going to be able to shut down
00:13:14.200 and say, hey, what are you doing?
00:13:15.760 They're invisible.
00:13:16.860 You think that's what's given Zelensky that power?
00:13:19.700 Yeah.
00:13:20.280 I don't know because you have to realize
00:13:23.080 this is not a regular thing.
00:13:25.020 This is not a regular thing.
00:13:27.000 I mean, to do something like this publicly
00:13:29.020 and not only that,
00:13:29.860 you know what's even more irritating?
00:13:31.540 What?
00:13:32.200 What he said.
00:13:32.960 Let me read it to you one more time what he said.
00:13:35.140 Think you're Putin.
00:13:36.600 Go be Putin for a second, okay?
00:13:38.640 Not what you wore this morning,
00:13:39.640 but be Putin for a second.
00:13:41.060 Listen to the profile.
00:13:42.220 I'm going to read it to you one more time.
00:13:43.520 You ready?
00:13:44.440 Here's what he said, okay?
00:13:45.980 This is Zelensky.
00:13:46.740 An absolutely brilliant result.
00:13:51.860 One year, six months, nine days
00:13:54.500 from the start of planning
00:13:55.600 to effective execution
00:13:57.040 achieved solely by Ukraine.
00:14:00.260 You're Putin.
00:14:01.740 You wake up.
00:14:02.640 Your general tells you
00:14:04.500 this is what happened to our unit.
00:14:06.800 And forget about that.
00:14:07.580 That's $7 billion.
00:14:08.660 We'll make the money from somewhere.
00:14:10.180 Yeah.
00:14:10.720 But Zelensky says this publicly
00:14:12.820 to put an in-your-face on top of it
00:14:15.520 that I'm not scared of you.
00:14:17.200 How much longer does Putin have to go
00:14:19.180 acting like he can be pushed around?
00:14:21.840 Oh, I don't expect him to keep acting like that.
00:14:24.260 I expect it like a stroke.
00:14:24.980 How bad do you think the response is going to be, Tom?
00:14:27.520 How bad do you think the response is going to be?
00:14:29.360 Like, honestly, like, do you...
00:14:31.120 Okay, so are we at a point where
00:14:32.920 percentage of nuclear response,
00:14:35.260 what percentage are you at?
00:14:36.500 Nuclear, Tom.
00:14:37.440 I'm going to ask all of you guys.
00:14:38.480 Just 30 seconds, no explanation.
00:14:39.980 Just give me what you think it is.
00:14:41.220 Okay.
00:14:41.500 Zero to 200.
00:14:42.440 Nuclear reaction.
00:14:43.840 Zero to 200?
00:14:44.760 Zero to 100%.
00:14:45.580 Zero to 100.
00:14:46.200 Well, remember, I think it's 50%,
00:14:50.100 but there's three levels of nukes.
00:14:51.720 There's depleted uranium weaponry.
00:14:54.160 There's isolated nukes,
00:14:55.720 which people believe have been used in warfare already.
00:14:58.740 And then there's full-blown, you know,
00:15:00.500 the mushroom cloud.
00:15:02.100 End game.
00:15:02.320 I think there's a 0% chance of the mushroom cloud,
00:15:05.080 but I believe there's tactical stuff out there that...
00:15:08.000 What percentage did you say?
00:15:09.280 I think it's 50% that he can move to the tactical dirty bomb.
00:15:12.100 I say 10% for nukes,
00:15:13.640 but, like, over 50% for the harshest action
00:15:16.900 they've taken so far in the assembly.
00:15:18.260 I think they'll throw everything they have at them
00:15:19.760 except for nukes.
00:15:23.000 25% to 30% lower-grade nukes,
00:15:26.160 but we're, like you said,
00:15:27.800 we're talking about a guy that's been pushed
00:15:29.540 and pushed and pushed and pushed back.
00:15:30.680 It's about to go down.
00:15:31.620 I'm telling you right now,
00:15:32.560 you think he's going to go quiet?
00:15:33.960 You think Poon's not going to respond to that?
00:15:35.540 Very low.
00:15:36.800 Less than 5%.
00:15:37.740 He's been threatening nuclear war
00:15:39.320 since the beginning of this war
00:15:40.980 and has done nothing.
00:15:43.880 A week ago, one week ago,
00:15:45.620 what did Trump say about Putin?
00:15:47.720 He tweeted,
00:15:49.240 Vladimir has gone crazy.
00:15:51.120 Do you remember that?
00:15:51.860 Yep.
00:15:52.380 So I think there's an element of this
00:15:54.280 that Trump has felt disrespected.
00:15:56.680 Trump realizes that he came out the box
00:15:58.540 and said,
00:15:58.960 I'm going to end this war on day one.
00:16:01.620 Meanwhile, it's day 150,
00:16:03.480 whatever it is right now.
00:16:04.700 I think he feels disrespected by Putin.
00:16:06.580 I think he thought that Putin was someone
00:16:08.720 that he could rationalize with.
00:16:10.000 And what he's realizing
00:16:11.200 is that the real dictator is Putin.
00:16:15.000 Yes, Zelensky is not exactly
00:16:16.600 a fan favorite around here anymore.
00:16:18.240 But don't forget who the enemy is.
00:16:19.940 It is Putin, not Zelensky.
00:16:21.560 You were asking about who's backing him
00:16:24.280 or who gave him a green light.
00:16:25.520 Remember after the fight in the Oval Office
00:16:27.500 and when Trump said,
00:16:28.380 I'm pulling funding,
00:16:29.580 Zelensky went straight to the UK,
00:16:31.840 met with Starmer.
00:16:32.700 Starmer pledged unwavering support.
00:16:34.880 Then Macron pledged unwavering support.
00:16:37.140 And then on February 25th,
00:16:38.860 Olaf Scholz of Germany
00:16:39.860 pledged unwavering support.
00:16:41.460 Remember they said,
00:16:42.520 we will be your backstop bank.
00:16:43.980 We'll be your hard money lender.
00:16:45.340 Remember those deals they put in place, Pat?
00:16:47.700 And they were a little bit worse than our deals.
00:16:49.740 Remember that?
00:16:50.260 That it would actually be a loan
00:16:51.440 and there was a dispute among France.
00:16:52.860 Then he did a whole skit about it.
00:16:54.160 Remember UK, France, and Germany,
00:16:55.860 there was a dispute there.
00:16:57.020 Remember those three are selling,
00:16:59.340 especially France.
00:17:00.460 France is a war machine.
00:17:02.040 Remember they were selling war machines
00:17:03.760 into Arab countries
00:17:05.160 that were using them against Israel
00:17:06.380 and they were a member of NATO with us.
00:17:08.360 Those three countries in February
00:17:10.000 pledged support for Ukraine.
00:17:11.940 I'm not sure about the CIA in the back.
00:17:14.560 Do I think they're there?
00:17:15.580 Yeah.
00:17:15.840 Do I think they're calling all the shots?
00:17:17.560 CIA's always there.
00:17:18.600 No.
00:17:19.300 But the UK,
00:17:20.100 but the Europeans,
00:17:21.280 after the fight in the Oval Office with Vance,
00:17:23.380 they all said,
00:17:24.300 here's money and we're here to help.
00:17:25.500 But it's PBD,
00:17:26.300 you sound like not,
00:17:27.600 PBD,
00:17:28.060 you sound,
00:17:28.680 the tone,
00:17:29.400 you sound unconvinced of something.
00:17:31.360 Yeah.
00:17:31.620 What is it that you're thinking?
00:17:32.680 Oh, no.
00:17:33.840 I mean, look,
00:17:35.860 if you're Trump,
00:17:36.880 who are you more upset with right now?
00:17:38.420 Putin or Zelensky?
00:17:39.900 Probably Putin.
00:17:40.720 No.
00:17:41.200 Zelensky?
00:17:41.760 He just Pearl Harbored that.
00:17:43.640 I want to know,
00:17:44.160 why do you think he's more upset
00:17:45.080 with Putin right now?
00:17:46.620 I think he had his moment in time
00:17:48.600 with Zelensky
00:17:49.220 where he basically dressed him down
00:17:50.800 in the Oval Office.
00:17:51.640 Since then,
00:17:52.120 Zelensky has been his whipping boy.
00:17:54.660 He called Putin crazy.
00:17:56.360 Yeah.
00:17:56.780 A week ago.
00:17:57.500 If Zelensky did this
00:18:00.340 without the support
00:18:02.040 or conversation with Trump
00:18:03.400 or anybody on his team,
00:18:05.320 so no one from our administration
00:18:07.520 knew about it.
00:18:08.640 Those are two different things.
00:18:10.260 If we knew about it,
00:18:12.440 this is Trump's proxy war.
00:18:15.780 Okay?
00:18:16.440 If Trump knew about it.
00:18:17.400 If Trump didn't know about it,
00:18:19.120 and he did,
00:18:20.200 I'm just telling you guys,
00:18:21.220 I'm not here trying to make
00:18:22.540 any kind of friends.
00:18:23.340 I'm just telling you
00:18:23.960 what the options could be.
00:18:26.160 If he knew,
00:18:27.640 Trump's officially in the proxy war
00:18:29.060 using Ukraine to attack Russia
00:18:30.880 to get what he wants from Russia.
00:18:32.840 And the only way
00:18:34.380 somebody acts that brave
00:18:36.100 is someone told you,
00:18:37.700 I got your back, bro.
00:18:38.660 Yeah.
00:18:38.960 100%.
00:18:39.160 Let me tell you,
00:18:40.360 if we go,
00:18:42.240 and you're not a,
00:18:43.200 let's just say you're not a tough guy
00:18:44.260 and there's a bunch of guys
00:18:45.100 that are coming in
00:18:45.660 and you know you have a fight today.
00:18:47.400 And then you go up
00:18:48.440 and they roll up to you.
00:18:49.780 20 guys come up to you
00:18:50.780 after high school
00:18:51.340 and you walk up
00:18:52.900 and you say,
00:18:54.060 really?
00:18:54.720 Let me tell you.
00:18:56.480 If Patrick finds out
00:18:57.620 you do anything,
00:18:58.480 da-da-da-da-da.
00:18:59.300 Oh, what do you,
00:18:59.960 he's your friend?
00:19:00.620 Of course.
00:19:02.100 Oh, bro,
00:19:02.600 we ain't got no problem.
00:19:03.620 Da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:19:04.180 You can use my name.
00:19:05.580 And you walk up
00:19:06.280 and you're like,
00:19:06.640 oh, do something,
00:19:07.280 do something,
00:19:07.800 do something, right?
00:19:08.420 That's Zelensky.
00:19:09.940 Dude, you can't act like this
00:19:11.180 without a backing.
00:19:11.980 You can't do something
00:19:13.040 like this without backing.
00:19:15.140 Who the hell gave him
00:19:16.140 the confidence to act like that?
00:19:17.520 I don't know.
00:19:18.280 By the way,
00:19:18.540 I'm not telling you it's Trump.
00:19:19.620 I don't know.
00:19:21.060 All I'm saying is
00:19:21.940 for you to be that freaking bold
00:19:23.760 to make that kind of a statement,
00:19:27.580 say it's an 18-month plan
00:19:28.980 and then say something like this
00:19:30.620 and you want Putin to sit there
00:19:32.240 and be like,
00:19:33.380 who the fuck he,
00:19:34.580 I've been doing this
00:19:35.300 for 20-some years.
00:19:36.480 You guys are presidents
00:19:37.260 for four years at a time.
00:19:38.440 You guys are nobodies.
00:19:39.660 That's how he views it.
00:19:40.800 This Zelensky guy,
00:19:41.780 he's a nobody.
00:19:42.540 He's not in my class
00:19:43.460 to be sitting at my table.
00:19:44.940 Who the hell is he
00:19:45.700 for me to sit down?
00:19:46.780 That's how he views himself.
00:19:48.320 He views himself as a king.
00:19:49.760 He views himself
00:19:50.460 as a leader above these guys.
00:19:52.420 No, I don't know
00:19:53.300 if I like this
00:19:54.080 and the only question I got
00:19:55.800 is who the hell
00:19:56.600 has given Zelensky
00:19:57.680 this much confidence
00:19:58.900 to think you can act
00:19:59.840 this boldly
00:20:00.700 after the Minerals deal,
00:20:02.440 after what happened
00:20:03.140 with Russia,
00:20:03.820 after Trump trying
00:20:04.520 to do a peace deal?
00:20:05.580 You want to behave like this
00:20:06.600 a week after Trump
00:20:07.680 called out Putin,
00:20:08.380 whatever he called out?
00:20:09.600 I don't know.
00:20:10.400 It doesn't sit well with that.
00:20:11.280 Do you remember
00:20:12.120 one of the things
00:20:12.840 Zelensky wanted?
00:20:14.080 Zelensky wanted a backstop
00:20:15.660 and what you just said
00:20:16.860 just triggered my memory of it.
00:20:18.440 When he wouldn't sign
00:20:19.560 the Minerals deal first,
00:20:20.520 he said,
00:20:21.120 I want the U.S.
00:20:22.280 to commit to be a backstop.
00:20:23.780 He basically wanted
00:20:24.800 the NATO clause number
00:20:26.420 or whatever it is
00:20:27.240 about...
00:20:28.300 Yeah, article 13.
00:20:29.280 Article 15.
00:20:30.080 He wanted basically
00:20:30.920 a form of article 15
00:20:32.140 on the first Minerals deal.
00:20:33.580 Remember that?
00:20:34.320 And Trump's like,
00:20:35.100 no, I'm not giving you
00:20:36.160 a backstop
00:20:36.700 because you're going
00:20:37.300 to back there
00:20:37.820 and you're not going
00:20:38.280 to stop the war
00:20:39.040 and it forces me
00:20:40.020 to keep feeding you.
00:20:42.040 But somebody's...
00:20:43.240 I agree, Pat.
00:20:44.320 Somebody's in his ear
00:20:46.000 and has told him
00:20:46.900 it may not be public
00:20:48.320 but we got you.
00:20:49.020 I mean, but let's just...
00:20:49.820 Okay, CIA aside,
00:20:51.200 Trump, I don't think...
00:20:51.980 I agree.
00:20:52.060 I don't think Trump knows.
00:20:53.600 Guys, Lindsey Graham
00:20:54.960 is there.
00:20:56.040 He's a war hawk.
00:20:57.300 He asked for 500% tariffs
00:20:59.240 on Russia every time.
00:21:00.460 He's the pin wearing
00:21:01.620 to hell with Putin.
00:21:02.720 He's the enemy.
00:21:03.540 It's right in front
00:21:04.280 of our face.
00:21:04.740 I don't know
00:21:05.020 what else he told him
00:21:06.020 but for this type of attack,
00:21:07.660 a Pearl Harbor attack
00:21:08.840 and that guy's there...
00:21:10.640 Do you think America
00:21:11.700 knows what happened
00:21:12.280 with Epstein?
00:21:13.440 Do you think Trump
00:21:14.020 knows what happened
00:21:14.540 with Epstein?
00:21:15.100 He knows 100%.
00:21:15.900 Do you think Trump
00:21:16.380 knows what happened
00:21:16.900 with Kennedy?
00:21:18.580 Yes.
00:21:19.040 Do you think Trump
00:21:19.520 knows what happened
00:21:20.020 with 9-11?
00:21:21.400 No.
00:21:21.980 You don't think he does?
00:21:23.320 No.
00:21:23.700 Do you think Trump
00:21:24.240 knows the dirt
00:21:24.780 with Israel,
00:21:26.560 AIPAC?
00:21:27.080 Do you think he knows
00:21:28.300 what those lobbyists
00:21:29.200 are behind closed
00:21:29.860 or with the power?
00:21:30.480 He was in that network.
00:21:31.280 Do you think he knows
00:21:32.400 all of those people
00:21:33.460 and how the buying,
00:21:34.820 the blackmail,
00:21:36.520 do you think he knows
00:21:37.040 all that stuff?
00:21:37.540 Oh, yeah, he grew up
00:21:38.240 on it.
00:21:38.540 Yeah, he grew up on it.
00:21:39.340 That's the point.
00:21:39.820 I have a very hard time
00:21:42.500 saying he knows
00:21:43.460 this stuff
00:21:44.040 and some kind of
00:21:45.200 an intel wasn't dropped.
00:21:46.500 This isn't a small move.
00:21:48.340 You don't do something
00:21:49.640 like this
00:21:50.400 and you mean to tell me
00:21:51.820 I don't know
00:21:52.640 and I don't have the intel?
00:21:53.860 No.
00:21:54.340 But all I'm saying is
00:21:55.220 I'm not telling you
00:21:55.940 he supported it.
00:21:57.240 I'm not saying
00:21:57.760 he supported it.
00:21:59.120 No one's sitting here
00:21:59.940 talking about Lindsey Graham
00:22:00.880 and you know where he's at
00:22:01.700 and whatever he's doing.
00:22:03.260 We want to make
00:22:03.860 Lindsey Graham that powerful?
00:22:05.100 No.
00:22:05.320 You think he's that powerful?
00:22:07.120 He's definitely not.
00:22:08.420 One of many.
00:22:08.960 He shivers
00:22:10.700 when he's around Trump.
00:22:11.980 He doesn't around Trump
00:22:13.320 act hardcore
00:22:14.240 and all this other stuff.
00:22:15.180 No.
00:22:15.820 Someone gave Zelensky
00:22:17.480 the authority
00:22:18.060 to act the way he did.
00:22:19.840 I want to know
00:22:20.340 who that is.
00:22:21.140 I think if we know
00:22:21.880 who that is
00:22:22.360 you can find out
00:22:23.260 the rest 20 things
00:22:24.220 that you want to know
00:22:24.700 if you only knew
00:22:25.600 who gave him the authority
00:22:27.140 to act as hard as he did.
00:22:28.360 Well, think about
00:22:28.720 the powerful forces
00:22:29.480 though that benefit
00:22:30.220 if Putin falls
00:22:31.200 and Russia gets opened up
00:22:32.260 again to the world.
00:22:32.880 You know,
00:22:33.000 like you got BlackRock
00:22:34.260 and J.P. Morgan
00:22:34.880 chomping at the bit
00:22:35.740 to get into Russia
00:22:37.200 and Ukraine
00:22:37.700 and you got...
00:22:39.820 I get that.
00:22:40.480 I get the whole 75 trillion
00:22:41.800 the most resources
00:22:42.600 in the world.
00:22:43.400 That's a big thing.
00:22:44.200 I totally get that.
00:22:45.180 But then tell me
00:22:45.660 so who would do that?
00:22:46.520 Who gives Zelensky
00:22:47.200 this kind of backing?
00:22:47.900 You think it's BlackRock?
00:22:49.320 You think it's Jamie Dimon?
00:22:50.300 You think a lot of it
00:22:51.700 is the EU?
00:22:52.300 I think it's a coalition.
00:22:53.260 I think it's a coalition
00:22:54.040 that like it's private businesses
00:22:55.780 to some degree
00:22:56.380 and it's intelligence
00:22:57.180 to some degree.
00:22:57.800 That's not enough, bro.
00:22:57.940 That's not enough
00:22:58.580 because the private businesses
00:22:59.780 cannot give you protection
00:23:00.880 from a war.
00:23:01.960 If this guy retaliates
00:23:03.120 and say 100,000 people
00:23:04.340 die in Ukraine,
00:23:05.240 half a million people
00:23:06.000 die in Ukraine
00:23:06.500 and he's capable
00:23:07.640 of dropping a nuclear,
00:23:08.880 what are you going to do now?
00:23:10.000 Now we have a war
00:23:10.980 around the freaking...
00:23:11.940 It's a world war.
00:23:12.820 But remember...
00:23:13.420 Then what happens
00:23:14.020 when that takes place?
00:23:14.820 Intelligence agencies
00:23:15.560 operate through businesses
00:23:16.720 though.
00:23:17.000 That's like their main way
00:23:17.760 that they do SB and Aj.
00:23:18.760 I know they do,
00:23:19.280 but I need backing.
00:23:20.240 So where do I get backing
00:23:21.380 to know that a reaction
00:23:23.700 won't be taking place?
00:23:25.440 If a reaction takes...
00:23:26.740 In this case,
00:23:27.580 who is Japan?
00:23:29.780 In this instance,
00:23:30.720 who is Japan?
00:23:31.480 Japan is Ukraine.
00:23:32.720 Japan is Ukraine.
00:23:33.480 Okay, yeah.
00:23:34.040 Who is U.S.?
00:23:35.720 Russia.
00:23:36.300 Russia.
00:23:36.700 Yeah.
00:23:37.180 What happened
00:23:37.760 after what Japan did?
00:23:39.560 Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
00:23:40.520 How hardcore did Japan
00:23:41.420 to act?
00:23:41.900 Hardcore.
00:23:42.560 And then what happened?
00:23:43.500 Yeah, they got messed up.
00:23:44.480 They got messed up.
00:23:45.180 So what do you think
00:23:45.940 Putin's thinking right now?
00:23:47.340 If I'm in his room,
00:23:48.620 I don't know.
00:23:51.540 I agree with everything
00:23:52.400 you're saying.
00:23:52.800 Can I give you one caveat though?
00:23:53.720 Yeah, go for it.
00:23:55.260 Because we're using
00:23:56.180 the metaphor of Pearl Harbor.
00:24:00.320 The reason that might be
00:24:01.800 a little off
00:24:02.380 is they're already at war.
00:24:04.160 They're already going
00:24:04.920 blow for blow,
00:24:05.800 punch for punch,
00:24:06.600 bomb for bomb,
00:24:07.320 missile for missile.
00:24:08.220 The reason that Pearl Harbor
00:24:09.460 was so over the top dramatic
00:24:11.680 is because it came out
00:24:12.940 of nowhere.
00:24:14.160 It came out
00:24:14.920 of completely nowhere.
00:24:15.820 These two countries
00:24:16.940 are already at war.
00:24:18.520 So, you know,
00:24:19.200 what do they say
00:24:19.720 is like, you know,
00:24:20.860 all is fair in love and war?
00:24:22.260 This is what's happening
00:24:23.220 right now.
00:24:23.740 Okay, so let me ask
00:24:24.300 you a question.
00:24:24.820 Sure.
00:24:25.420 If this morning
00:24:26.580 we're coming in,
00:24:28.320 you don't have phone.
00:24:29.200 We take your phone away
00:24:30.160 from you since midnight.
00:24:31.200 You don't have access
00:24:31.840 to news or anything.
00:24:32.540 We put you in the bedroom.
00:24:33.980 Here in the office,
00:24:34.740 you have access to nothing.
00:24:36.220 And we make a list
00:24:37.400 of things that happened.
00:24:39.260 And we make them up.
00:24:41.100 Where would you rank
00:24:41.920 that this happened
00:24:42.540 this morning?
00:24:43.000 We make 10 stories.
00:24:46.420 And we tell you,
00:24:47.460 yeah, last night Ukraine,
00:24:49.900 similar to Pearl Harbor,
00:24:51.160 shot up 40 bombers in Russia
00:24:52.800 in a drone attack
00:24:53.580 like never seen before.
00:24:54.840 Where would you rank that?
00:24:56.460 As far as shocked?
00:24:57.480 Oh my God, that happened?
00:24:58.680 Not in my top two or three.
00:25:00.260 It wouldn't even be
00:25:00.860 in your top five.
00:25:01.780 No.
00:25:02.380 Okay, so I just went out
00:25:03.640 right now and I asked
00:25:04.140 the question,
00:25:04.500 what is the worst Ukraine?
00:25:05.920 What's the worst?
00:25:06.820 Can you go to a chat,
00:25:08.000 GPT type,
00:25:08.480 and what's the worst attack?
00:25:10.300 Ukraine has that
00:25:11.040 on Russia so far.
00:25:11.920 What's the worst attack?
00:25:14.720 Ukraine has that
00:25:15.300 on Russia so far.
00:25:17.480 Okay, let's see what it says.
00:25:19.700 I got my answer.
00:25:20.720 I'm curious.
00:25:21.100 Sometimes it's got
00:25:22.080 different answers
00:25:22.580 for different people,
00:25:23.260 but let's see what it says.
00:25:24.460 Boom.
00:25:24.940 Which one is that?
00:25:26.680 June 1st, 2025.
00:25:28.240 That's the one.
00:25:28.660 Operation Spiderweb.
00:25:29.580 That's the one.
00:25:30.960 So bro,
00:25:31.680 no one expected this.
00:25:33.340 Yeah.
00:25:33.960 This isn't a regular thing.
00:25:36.300 We're sitting here
00:25:37.300 thinking pieces
00:25:38.100 around the corner.
00:25:39.020 You think this accelerated
00:25:40.620 the process of this?
00:25:41.480 No, no.
00:25:41.740 This definitely
00:25:42.220 hinting at the process.
00:25:43.420 Hell no.
00:25:43.440 And guess who slowed it down?
00:25:45.400 Zelensky.
00:25:46.380 What do you mean
00:25:47.320 you drop in 41 Russian
00:25:48.880 and then you brag
00:25:50.000 about it publicly?
00:25:51.180 When you brag
00:25:51.860 about it publicly
00:25:52.500 right there,
00:25:53.200 a guy like Putin,
00:25:54.680 if you're the leader
00:25:55.300 of that country,
00:25:55.980 you have to show strength.
00:25:57.140 You have to show strength.
00:25:58.680 And I don't want any war.
00:25:59.880 I don't want to see
00:26:00.320 anything happen.
00:26:01.040 I've lived in the middle
00:26:01.860 of war until today
00:26:02.700 when I hear certain sounds.
00:26:03.640 It takes me back
00:26:04.140 to being a kid in Iran.
00:26:05.220 I don't want war anywhere.
00:26:06.040 I don't want anybody dying.
00:26:06.920 But if you behave this way,
00:26:09.960 someone give you the confidence
00:26:10.880 that's going to be okay.
00:26:11.800 Somebody said,
00:26:12.420 don't worry about it.
00:26:13.480 Go, we got your back.
00:26:14.620 Who?
00:26:15.200 I want to know.
00:26:16.600 And riddle me this.
00:26:18.620 Who said
00:26:19.400 that you can attack
00:26:21.340 and we got your back?
00:26:22.680 That's all I want to know.
00:26:23.940 There's a bunch of weird guys
00:26:24.840 that manek me.
00:26:25.700 And a couple of the guys,
00:26:26.600 I don't know their names.
00:26:27.260 So I tell them,
00:26:27.680 I said, are you with the CIA?
00:26:28.520 Who are you with?
00:26:28.980 Because it's almost like
00:26:29.980 you're trying to instill
00:26:30.480 some of the stuff in me.
00:26:31.120 We get that guy too.
00:26:31.560 Yeah, and I'll say,
00:26:32.520 hey.
00:26:32.700 I'm not going to say it.
00:26:33.680 Yeah, no, I get it.
00:26:34.340 And I appreciate it
00:26:34.920 because he's always very,
00:26:35.860 he gives very interesting angles.
00:26:37.540 But for me,
00:26:38.340 you cannot sit here
00:26:39.260 and be naive
00:26:39.800 assuming this happened
00:26:40.920 and others didn't know.
00:26:42.000 Yeah, Zelensky did this
00:26:42.960 by himself
00:26:43.360 and nobody knew about this
00:26:44.200 and a big back.
00:26:44.900 Oh, Lindsey Graham
00:26:45.960 is the one
00:26:46.300 that's going to have his back.
00:26:47.100 You think Lindsey Graham is?
00:26:49.040 So let's role play
00:26:49.740 that conversation.
00:26:50.860 Hey, Zelensky, what's up?
00:26:52.700 I'm Lindsey Graham.
00:26:53.720 Attack him.
00:26:54.340 I got your back, dog.
00:26:56.360 Oh, no.
00:26:56.920 Who sent Lindsey Graham?
00:26:58.060 Maybe the CIA sent him.
00:26:59.240 Who sent Lindsey Graham?
00:26:59.980 Maybe the rogue people
00:27:01.580 from the CIA,
00:27:02.160 but what are the timing?
00:27:03.020 But who sent him?
00:27:03.980 Vinny, go there.
00:27:05.160 I sincerely want to be convinced.
00:27:06.620 It has to be somebody
00:27:08.320 or a group
00:27:09.080 that wants war with Russia.
00:27:11.480 But who?
00:27:12.180 But you have to give me backing.
00:27:15.280 Meaning what?
00:27:15.900 If I'm Zelensky,
00:27:16.960 you have to give me backing.
00:27:18.060 Like a guarantee
00:27:18.780 like you're going to be okay.
00:27:19.520 You have to give it to me
00:27:20.740 and you don't control the military.
00:27:22.480 You're a world leader.
00:27:23.660 I'm not.
00:27:24.360 I'm a senator.
00:27:25.540 You're a world leader, okay?
00:27:27.320 You're Zelensky.
00:27:27.980 I'm Senator Graham.
00:27:29.120 Who have you sat across?
00:27:31.220 You mean the senator?
00:27:32.220 Who have you sat across versus me?
00:27:34.200 You're with all leaders and everybody.
00:27:35.980 I'm just a senator.
00:27:36.580 No, no, no.
00:27:37.200 You are Zelensky.
00:27:38.680 I'm the president.
00:27:39.180 I've sat with everybody.
00:27:40.520 So in your eyes,
00:27:41.200 how do you look at me?
00:27:42.120 You're like not a peasant,
00:27:43.340 but you're like you're an errand boy
00:27:44.280 for the government.
00:27:45.040 Relax, bro.
00:27:45.260 Relax, okay?
00:27:45.900 Yeah.
00:27:46.220 I have 400 people like you
00:27:47.940 that work for me.
00:27:48.680 Chill out, bro.
00:27:49.340 You're not that big of a deal, okay?
00:27:50.780 Yeah.
00:27:50.940 I come to you and I say,
00:27:52.040 hey, listen,
00:27:53.060 I got the backing.
00:27:53.920 CIA's got your back.
00:27:55.360 Do you believe me?
00:27:56.800 As Lindsey Graham saying it to me?
00:27:59.400 Do you believe me that I go and say,
00:28:00.720 Boeing's got your back.
00:28:01.920 General Dynamics has your back.
00:28:03.240 Go.
00:28:03.880 We got your back.
00:28:04.660 Go.
00:28:04.920 Well, that's a bigger deal
00:28:05.780 if defense contractors do.
00:28:07.180 But do you believe me?
00:28:07.920 I pulled up a contract
00:28:10.140 and I looked at it and said,
00:28:10.980 who is giving the most money to Ukraine?
00:28:12.700 Guess who's number one?
00:28:13.380 What country?
00:28:13.960 United States.
00:28:14.460 No, it's Germany.
00:28:15.360 $132 billion.
00:28:16.260 Who's number two?
00:28:16.980 Us, $119 billion.
00:28:18.240 Who's number three?
00:28:18.960 UK.
00:28:19.860 Russia's,
00:28:20.380 Germany's given $132 billion
00:28:22.100 since 2022 to them.
00:28:24.340 So why,
00:28:25.340 I'm trying to fully understand
00:28:27.460 who gave this guy permission
00:28:30.180 to behave the way he did.
00:28:32.340 I would be so,
00:28:33.600 say I'm Trump and I don't know,
00:28:34.840 and you behave that way?
00:28:36.060 I'm on his ass right now.
00:28:38.920 And don't be surprised.
00:28:40.720 In the next six hours,
00:28:42.120 if President Trump comes out
00:28:43.920 with a true social message,
00:28:45.680 bashing Zelensky,
00:28:47.040 you know he didn't know.
00:28:48.040 Yeah.
00:28:48.560 Or maybe he's playing politics.
00:28:51.300 If he comes out bashing Putin,
00:28:53.880 if he comes out trying to be peacemaker,
00:28:58.700 but, you know,
00:29:00.620 someone made this guy believe
00:29:01.820 he can go as hard as he wants.
00:29:02.720 And I know you want to change,
00:29:03.780 but the Crimean Bridge was attacked
00:29:05.440 for the third time by Ukraine security,
00:29:07.040 and there's videos,
00:29:07.800 Valuetainment posted as well.
00:29:09.260 They're still on the offensive.
00:29:10.700 What's this, Rob?
00:29:11.480 This is the,
00:29:12.020 that's the Crimean Bridge.
00:29:13.500 The Crimean Bridge was attacked
00:29:14.480 for the third time by Ukraine.
00:29:15.560 This is a little while ago.
00:29:17.160 Today?
00:29:17.540 Yeah, today.
00:29:18.360 June 3rd.
00:29:19.200 June 3rd at 4.40 p.m.
00:29:21.040 Who did that?
00:29:21.620 Ukraine Security Services
00:29:22.800 executed a covert underwater operation
00:29:24.660 targeting the Crimean Bridge,
00:29:26.040 also known as the Courage Bridge.
00:29:27.120 This marks the third time Ukraine
00:29:28.160 has struck the strategic infrastructure
00:29:29.840 since the onset of the war.
00:29:31.200 It's involving planting
00:29:31.980 1,100 kilograms of explosives
00:29:33.980 underwater for months
00:29:35.660 to do this.
00:29:36.160 Well, PB, I'm going to give you credit.
00:29:37.480 You're asking all the right questions
00:29:39.220 about who's funding this.
00:29:40.760 No, you're asking questions.
00:29:42.020 There's a famous phrase,
00:29:43.040 he who pays says,
00:29:44.660 whoever is funding this operation,
00:29:46.900 which you just read the list,
00:29:48.860 Germany, United States, EU,
00:29:50.320 I don't like it.
00:29:50.800 defense contractors,
00:29:51.900 they're basically saying,
00:29:53.620 keep going,
00:29:54.640 we're not ending this war anytime soon.
00:29:55.900 You know, history has proxies for us, Pat,
00:29:57.680 and they're scary proxies.
00:29:59.300 Remember, it was December 7th, 1941,
00:30:01.180 was Pearl Harbor.
00:30:02.100 A day that'll live in for me, Tom.
00:30:03.500 Yep.
00:30:03.920 And it was four years later,
00:30:07.540 after military and military things
00:30:09.600 were going on,
00:30:10.500 and, you know, all the things,
00:30:11.960 Lady Gulf and everything that went on,
00:30:14.140 the U.S. decided to touch
00:30:17.080 civilian targets in 1945.
00:30:20.220 And people forget that the bombing
00:30:21.880 of Tokyo in March of 1945
00:30:24.020 was the most devastating.
00:30:25.960 It was more devastating
00:30:26.740 than the two atomic weapons.
00:30:28.180 It was 100,000 people, civilians.
00:30:30.700 We went after civilian targets.
00:30:32.680 And what worries me
00:30:33.840 is that when governments
00:30:35.780 lose patience on military, Pat,
00:30:38.380 you know what I'm saying?
00:30:38.940 When people lose patience
00:30:40.580 on the military side
00:30:42.420 and you just couldn't get
00:30:43.440 the emperor of Japan to break,
00:30:45.980 you go after the civilian targets,
00:30:47.860 and then five months later
00:30:49.120 it was the two atomic weapons.
00:30:50.400 And it was the power of the weapons
00:30:51.540 that caused Japan to back off.
00:30:53.140 And it scares me to death
00:30:54.380 because that was a long-term,
00:30:55.960 protracted war
00:30:56.860 that Japan wouldn't back down.
00:30:59.500 And we finally went
00:31:00.540 for civilian targets.
00:31:01.640 90,000 civilians died
00:31:03.680 in Tokyo in March of 1945.
00:31:06.200 And what scares me is this is...
00:31:07.700 Tom, I want to move on, Tom.
00:31:09.140 Yeah, I want to move on.
00:31:09.940 I want to move on
00:31:10.480 because for me,
00:31:11.680 when I'm hearing this,
00:31:13.160 we're on the same page.
00:31:14.740 There's a lot of uncertainty.
00:31:16.420 I don't feel good about it.
00:31:17.540 The timing of it sucks.
00:31:19.760 Like, the last thing,
00:31:20.640 we need something like that.
00:31:23.040 We're barely...
00:31:24.040 The economy is, like,
00:31:24.980 kind of getting a little bit more.
00:31:26.280 This is the last thing
00:31:27.060 we need at a time like this
00:31:28.200 to be thrown.
00:31:29.520 Now, the only thing,
00:31:30.740 if I add the last skepticism,
00:31:33.140 whoever wants Trump
00:31:35.260 to lose the credibility
00:31:37.240 of being a peace president
00:31:39.620 could have influence
00:31:41.260 on causing this
00:31:42.280 to say during his regime,
00:31:44.920 there was a world war.
00:31:47.000 And the left will win from that.
00:31:49.580 They will win from that.
00:31:50.860 So, is this a China influence?
00:31:53.400 I don't think.
00:31:54.040 Is this a...
00:31:54.580 I don't know.
00:31:55.140 But to me,
00:31:56.100 there's a lot of moving parts.
00:31:58.120 If you believe
00:31:59.200 the future looks bright
00:32:00.560 and you live in Florida,
00:32:03.040 Texas, California,
00:32:04.580 or New York,
00:32:05.360 in that order, by the way,
00:32:06.640 of the hats,
00:32:07.620 the hats are available
00:32:08.440 for your state
00:32:09.300 where you get to wear
00:32:09.960 the future looks bright
00:32:10.760 and on the site
00:32:12.100 has your state on it.
00:32:13.620 I think the Florida numbered hats,
00:32:14.960 there's three left
00:32:15.640 on the numbers for Florida,
00:32:16.780 but the rest of them,
00:32:17.840 there's a few left
00:32:19.340 for you to go order, Rob.
00:32:20.360 Do you have a video on this
00:32:21.120 or no with the hats?
00:32:22.180 Yep.
00:32:23.280 Press the video on this here.
00:32:24.380 You can go ahead and play it.
00:32:25.780 And it tells you.
00:32:26.660 So, on the cover,
00:32:27.500 it says future looks bright.
00:32:29.020 Vitamin logo on the other side.
00:32:30.280 You got Florida, California,
00:32:32.400 Texas,
00:32:33.280 and New York.

00:32:36.580 where you live in
00:32:37.820 and you believe
00:32:38.740 the future looks bright,
00:32:40.320 go sport it.
00:32:41.040 And by the way,
00:32:41.600 we got emails from people saying,
00:32:43.140 how about our state?
00:32:44.340 How about this?
00:32:45.020 How about that?
00:32:45.880 Look,
00:32:46.360 we even had a couple guys
00:32:47.380 that order the hats
00:32:48.240 and send it to people
00:32:49.160 that live in Texas,
00:32:49.980 New York, California,
00:32:50.760 and Florida.
00:32:51.740 And a lot of good commentary.
00:32:53.200 I was tagged on a bunch
00:32:53.940 of different gifts
00:32:54.400 that people got.
